What happened
A research team analyzed 769 task logs from building its own AI model. AI agents supplied up to 55 percent of method proposals, but humans made more than 85 percent of final decisions. A third of the tasks wouldn't have been attempted without AI. The authors warn that more agent activity doesn't mean more autonomy. The article AI agents do more of the work in model development, but humans still make the decisions appeared first on The Decoder .
What to do next
Move into automation and workflow tools next so you can evaluate whether the agent story is actionable or still mostly experimental.
